I apologise if this is a duplicate of https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/869065.
However, the title of the above deal relates to the extended version and there's no mention of the price of this one in the body of the deal, only in the comments
Mg4 $31k with 10 years warranty beats this hands down
I'd take any manufacturer's warranty with a massive grain of salt. Try getting a Mitsubishi drive train battery replaced when it's down to 50% capacity and within warranty.
Yeah, how many of these brands will exist in 10 years time though?
well, they have the track record of having existed in this market for ummm
how many years?
how many years?
Morris Garages had been around for quite some time.
Cheaper than petrol reliant corolla, i30, golf, cerato etc.. what an age we live in
Quite a nice car, especially for the money. LR is definitely the one to go for.
I was in China a few weeks back and witnessed an EV getting a whole battery replaced at petrol station in a few mins.
I would wait until that technology and service is available here. All the Didis I took were EVs but I wouldn’t say they r nice. Very basic and old even though it’s not that old. Actually put me off EVs.
The nice cars in China are still the European cars. BMW, Mercedes, Porsche, Range-rover etc
Are you talking about EVs from BMW, Mercedes and Porsche?
It must be Nio.
In july, a Nio sales guy drove me to a nearby battery swap station to demonstrate me the process. It took about 7 minutes to get battery swapped. BTW, If you live in a apartment and no easy access to a charger, battery swapping is probaly the only option for EV owner.
Later this month I got the info of battery swapping cost from a former NIO EV owner when he drove me to PVG airport with his new Geely EV. He said the cost is about A$200-300 per month without owning a battery (significant saving for car purchase cost).
All car owners I met during that period have no interest in ICE cars (or for their next car). If that's the reality for the near future, I would think deprciation for ICE cars will be faster than EV car. Because no one want old ICE car anymore even if they become much cheaper.
ICE are not depreciating as much as an EV lol
In China, EV accounts for more than 50% all new car sales already. So no guarantee old ICE cars will be even sellable.
In Australia, EV buyers are still early adopters paying mark-up prices for EVs.
While new EVs being made faster than ever, many ICE car factories in China are closing down/scaled back. Manufacures like Hyundai made significent loss of their closed factory.
Only handful countries, US and Canada in particular, seem still bet on ICE technology not because of consumers, but because of Union/Government/oil industry.
I really hope battery swaps are the way all EVs go. Imagine this:
You pull into a servo, and they pop your depleted battery out and place a new, fully charged one. You drive off with a full charge. They servo uses cheap power from mid-day solar to charge their batteries. A chip in the battery unit tracks discharge cycles and battery health - bad ones get replaced. The servo staff, fuel truck driver still have jobs, energy demand is shifted to cheap renewable power, and there's no competition for public chargers. Anyone who tampers with a battery gets banned from the network.
There are technical challenges, but not insurmountable ones. I mean it would seem pretty wild to transport and store huge tanks of highly flammable, graded and reliably pure fluid if we didn't already do it.
And at the end of the day you would be able to use EVs like ICE vehicles.
Spend a little more for a Tank 300. Killer car!
Suck on that, inflation!
Genuine question, lets say this car has 300km range, what are we expecting it to have in 5 years - what's going to be acceptable? 80%?
The LFP battery tends to outlas the rest of the car. I would guess you will still have more than 80% battery capacity after 5 years unless you have driven 300,000+km in 5 years.
3000 battery cycles on LFP. That 8.5 years if you charge every day which you won’t unless you are an Uber driver or similar.
Most of the older EVs like the leaf and imiev are at around 50% of their original range after more than 10 years.
I would think the newer battery tech would do better.
@Alexxx - Leaf and iMiev also didn’t have liquid cooled batteries or any thermal management. So the batteries were basically cooked when your DC charge them.
Liquid cooled LFP batteries should fare significantly better. Especially when manufactures are giving long warranties on them.
The older liquid cooled EV like Model S of a similar vintage are holding up much better.
I knew there was a reason why Ozbargain had so many eneloop and power brick deals in its lore.
It's all just to get us ready for these EVs.
How is this not a duplicate?
because it's not? I thought the other one was for the extended range battery model.
Comes with a Great Wall charger.
You can't install it on the roof not so great.
All I need now is 1.99% interest rate then I'll take the bite.
Buy now regret later
When something is cheaper for ABN holders, what does that mean in reality?
Like if I hold an ABN as a sole trader but make like max $2000 in personal services income a year does it still make me eligible for a discount?
I'm pretty sure it does.
What benefit does it provide to the seller to offer discounts to ABN holders?
Well, at the least it may tempt someone to buy, just like reducing the price presumably does.
Yes it does. Used to do this for better access to mobile plans.
I've always been skeptical about these
I vaguely remember some dodgy advertising where abn holders price was simply normal cost minus gst
Guess beauty is in the eye of the beholders, but gosh it's ugly for me
I would of thought the small EV's sold a lot better.
Keep your 4WD or Ute for long drives.. Get a small cheap one for around town you use most of the time and fill up cheap at home.
Reality they not been selling well.
We looking for a small cheap EV, Leaf's as someone else said have no proper cooling so they are the cars people talk about needing a new Batteries.
The older gen 1 leafs from 2012 most have only 50-60% of the 130km range they had :)
Although you can now buy battery packs for $10-$12k to give them 500km range and use the remaining 12kw as a off gird battery.
So no one is dumping batteries in land fill. Seen second hand packs sell for $3-$5k
I wouldn't touch any of them.
